Abstract
The nanofiber technology has recently undergone an unprecedented transformation, finding widespread utilities across diverse scientific disciplines. It is noteworthy that electrospinning approaches have emerged as an adaptable and successful approach to generate fibers ranging in rapidly as a class of therapeutic agents with a high level of target specificity. Peptides encounter several challenges as drugs, including swift breakdown by the body, rapid elimination from the bloodstream, inadequate stability, and restricted ability to cross cell membranes. This renders it challenging to employ them as drugs. However, electrospun nanofibers might address these problems. This review explores the promising potential of electrospinning nanofibers for peptide delivery. We delve into recent advancements in this technique, highlighting its effectiveness in overcoming challenges associated with peptide drug delivery. It provides an analysis of the trends identified in the use of the electrospinning technique and its role in peptide drug delivery systems, based on a review of data collected over a period of five to seven years.
